Both my kids did that at HPD (daughter had so much fun she did it twice). VERY good agenda and instruction, and focus on learning car skills, not just going fast.

My first car was a Vega and I doubt it would have scored very well at all. When our son turned 16 last year we bought him a new 2017 Camaro RS. However, we live in a rural setting with only two intersections with red flashing lights. You always preach driving the speed limit, avoiding distractions and driving defensively and pray for the best. Is probably one of the most dangerous times in a young persons life.

It does NOT look safe at all. You may want to look into a Volvo.

My wife says that I'm a tyrant to our boys. I then ask her how does she think they've turned out. She says, "great of course". I say, "zaaactly". End of conversation. I see too many spoiled kids in our neck of the woods with no respect for others, which is a direct result of having no self respect. Old school is good school.

Here's some death rate study info, which, as noted, takes a while to accumulate for particular models, more so those with low sales numbers. General information on various vehicle types in presented, with good data studies in PDF for older gen cars.
